Weinstein retrial: Lawyer claims accuser sought to sue for money

  • Harvey Weinstein faces a new retrial in a Manhattan courtroom in 2025 for sexual assault charges involving Miriam Haley and Jessica Mann.
  • This retrial follows the 2020 convictions being overturned last year due to unlawful witness handling, as ruled by the New York Court of Appeals.
  • During cross-examination, Weinstein's lawyer claimed Haley only made allegations to enable a civil lawsuit, which she strongly denied, stating she acted to support other women.
  • During her emotional testimony, Haley recounted an incident at Weinstein's Soho apartment in 2006 and emphasized that she never believed she had the possibility of receiving financial restitution.
  • The retrial highlights ongoing legal challenges for the former film producer, who remains imprisoned and has never admitted wrongdoing, with implications for the #MeToo movement.
